Offensive Jihad/ The One Incontrovertible Problem with Islam
Raymond Ibrahim "Indeed, if the implications of offensive jihad were fully embraced, humanity might be compelled to view the Muslim world as a perpetual, existentialist threat, in need of preemptive containment. That said, and considering the willful ignorance of the West's political elite — who are guided less by objective facts and more by their "feel-good" ideals — Muslim talk of offensive jihad, no matter how loud or ubiquitous, will likely continue to fall on deaf ears." Liberal ears must be burning right now.
Populists v. Consumers
Slate "We've got to end the threats of the excessive government regulations," Senator-elect Pat Toomey, R.-Pa., said in his acceptance speech. Rep. Eric Cantor, R.-Va., who will likely be House majority leader, wants to conduct "an immediate and comprehensive review of proposed government rules, regulations, and statutes." The phrase "job-killing" is back in vogue as an adjective to describe government regulation."
The Keynesians Get Their Wish
American Thinker "The Federal Reserve plans to inject $600 billion of the most caustic debt imaginable into the economy. This is the Agent Orange of monetary policies that has the potential to wreak financial havoc."
Federal Spending by the Numbers 2010 "While some of this spending is a temporary result of the recession, President Obama’s latest budget would replace this temporary spending with permanent new programs. Consequently, by 2020—a time of assumed peace and prosperity—Washington would still spend nearly $36,000 per household, compared to $25,000 per household before this recession (adjusted for inflation)."

There is a wealth of information in this article, but you have to be committed to the research to tackle it. To sum it up, this nation is being run by idiots. With too much time on their hands.

How the sheer idiocy of the NRSC, John Cornyn, Whimsy Graham and Karl Rove lost the GOP as many as five Senate seats
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-sheer-idiocy-of-nrsc-john-cornyn.html "I know one thing: that $3 million spent in the final weeks on those five campaigns could have swung four or five seats to the GOP. But the idiots at the NRSC are selfish, insular Beltway Republicans who are wedded to the status quo.
"News flash, boys: we just stamped expiration dates on your foreheads."

Squeezing Soap From Obamacare's Sponge Is Not Enough
Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion "A party that loses a House seat can win it back two years later, as Republicans just proved. But a party that loses a legislative fight against a middle-class health care entitlement never restores the old order.... It's a huge structural change in the relationship between the public, the economy, and the government."
It is not enough to merely stop the socialist accomplishments in Congress; they must be Repealed!
Is There No Detail Too Small For The Feds To Regulate? "The federal government is forcing states and municipalities to change the lettering on street signs from all CAPS to initial Caps because it supposedly is easier for motorists to read, and therefore will save milliseconds of driver attention which might, I repeat, MIGHT, save lives."
Our legislators have far too much time on their hands.

Quixotic Iraq War Litigation
Jonathan H. Adler in The Volokh Conspiracy "The AP reports that the Rutgers-Newark Law School clinic has filed a cert petition seeking review of a case challenging the constitutionality of the Iraq War. Filed on behalf of an Iraq war veteran, two mothers of deployed soldiers and an anti-war group, the suit maintains that the invasion of Iraq was not constitutionally authorized due to the lack of a formal Declaration of War by Congress. According to a Rutgers press release:"...
Europeans React to Pummeling of Dems in Midterm Elections
By Soeren Kern "In general, left-leaning publications across the continent have expressed varying degrees of anger and contempt over the setback the Tea Party has dealt to Obama’s efforts to Europeanize the United States. Many left-wing commentators have openly ridiculed the U.S. electorate for not being sufficiently sophisticated to comprehend why Obama’s social policies are in America’s best interests.
"By contrast, many (but certainly not all) right-leaning publications have taken the position that Obama has only himself to blame for failing to dedicate sufficient time and energy to turning around the ailing U.S. economy. A number of conservative commentators have also admitted, astonishingly, that a movement similar to the Tea Party would be good for Europe."
